The twin towns of Albury–Wodonga are seven kilometres apart on opposite sides of the Murray River, which is also the New South Wales–Victoria border. Together they form a significant urban centre in Australia's busiest inland corridor between Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne. Originally inhabited by Aboriginal people, the Albury area was 'discovered' by explorers Hume and Hovell in 1824 where they carved their comments into the trunks of two trees. Hume's tree was destroyed by fire, but Hovell's still stands today in Hovell Tree Park.
